Paul Thurrott is going it alone with next Windows Phone book

Paul Thurrott, a very prominent blogger, writer and podcaster of all things Microsoft has decided to write another book on Windows Phone. Paul has already crafted one book titled Windows Phone Secrets, but this time he's aiming to self-publish.

Paul is a huge fan of Windows Phone and with his new book he’s looking for the whole process to be more “conversational” with his readers. As it will be self-published, he’ll have more leeway to keep it updated and accept contributions from others during the process. We previously had the privilege of having Thurrott on a Windows Phone Central podcast episode.

Favouring digital versions over hard copies, Paul announced the book is likely to come as a PDF to start, with eBooks following. It’s nice to see Paul taking this approach to publishing. We are sure he’s bound to get lots of feedback from Windows Phone owners during the book's creation. We have certainly found the Windows Phone community to be extremely well informed and enthusiastic about the platform.

That sums it up! I do feel he is too quick to dismiss things sometimes (like when he kept claiming Kinnect would never be released), but he does try to look at things logically for the most part, which I appreciate.
